Think Positive During these trying times you love playing your air guitar. That brings you much joy, as you can't go out for your entertainment, you can only go out for necessities. You heart is beating steadily as you jam away but then you start thinking about getting back to work or how can I pay my bills, etc. All of these things swirl in your head. It is a constant battle between being happy or worrying. Just think positive and all will be OK. BiaB Style - 80's Even 8ths Rock - I modified this style to better fit the song. Deleted the rhythm guitar and bass. Strings = UVI B5 Hammond organ Guitar - Sonivox Taylor acoustic Drums - SSD5 - Rock Kit - Solid Rock I am playing the rhythm guitar, lead guitar and the fretless bass. I am also playing the synth via my MIDI keyboard controller. All guitars when through Amplitube 4, the bass through SVX preset Comp Rock and both guitars through Fender 59 Crunch. The synth was SynthMaster preset The Racer AZ Think Positive

Quiet evening, kids are asleep. No chores left for the day. I finally sit down by my computer, opening the forum page...Looking at new post by Mario. Putting my headphones on, thinking it will be one of his relaxing meditation pieces.. AND THERE GOES HEADBANGING PSYCHO MARCH at 10pm!!!
Fun stuff. Liked your wild reef at ~1:50sh. Synths are great. I miss 80s. Thank you for sharing!
Misha.

Hey Mario,
You have the beat in you with this one! did your neighbours survived, or your wife (I read what she wants to do with your head and a keyboard! Without further 'funny' remarks i want to tell you what terrific job you did on this song. A nice steady beat, just enough tension with the guitars in it and together a cool sound. You become a daredevil with this one. Only a tiny little thing: compared to the volumelevel of the drums, the guitars got a litle less of a volume to fit better in your mix. But keep in mind, this is a matter of opinion...
Nice day, keep safe, don't fight, Hans

I like this type of jam! The contrasting sections make it especially fun. I can see a band playing this in my head. Definitely the positivity that's needed right now. Fun, fun, fun! Thanks for throwing a bit of that out into the world! It's much needed!

I played in wedding bands for years, from country songs to rock to polkas and everything in between, so I'm kind of a jack of all trades but a master of non.

I am first and foremost a guitarist but I find playing the bass very exciting. I play the bass as a bassist and not a guitarist playing the bass. BIG difference.

Mario,
A really fun track—great touches on this. I think it’s one of my favorite Mario songs . . . really creative and just a good, powerful positive feel to this. Hard to keep the toe from tapping. Good stuff!
All my best,
Deej
